I respect that and I understand Fister is not a Curt Schilling caliber player but I've watched a good amount of Mariner games when he pitched and this dude is underrated. He has a #$$ record because he got no run support whenever he started which was hilarious to me. Also, do you really think the Detroit bats are going to stay quite because they've only scored 5 runs in both wins and I see them go wild tonight...Originally Posted by Proshares
Overrated down the stretch after he got to Detroit I meant. I'm not saying he's not a good pitcher, because I think he is (was) very underrated in Seattle. That's where he lacked run support IMO. But if you let other folks tell you, they'll make him seem like he's Curt Schilling to Justin Verlander's Randy Johnson since he came over. In the two months since he came over, he pitched against an injury depleted Cleveland team four times, KC twice, Oakland, Minnesota, Baltimore (before they became AL East killers), Texas at home and TB in the worst hitting park in the majors. A different beast pitching against an AL East team in a hitting park than pitching in arguably the weakest division in baseball.
I'm not saying I can't be wrong about tonight but to use the facts that were used is too far out there IMO.
Fister is in the top 15% in WHIP and ERA while Nova shouldn't even be compared to the guy... I will say that if Tigers are not ahead in the 6th then the game is over
